CTX 700 DCT/ABS

[GoldOxide_imp]

The NC700X had a hard redline of 6500rpm, something most riders complained about. I noticed it most when going up freeway on-ramps - wished it wasn't so abrupt. When they went to the NC750X in 2018 in the US, the rev limit was upped to 7500rpm because they added a rear counterbalancer shaft.

For the 2018 model, my understanding is in addition to going to manual mode to override the shift points in the tranny, one can also choose to select "sport" (?) behaviour when in automatic mode. I reckon the sport setting allows the tranny to stay in a gear longer during acceleration. The added RPM red line ceiling probably reduces the frequency of hitting the engine limiter.
